After looking at the emerging Technology Trends in the HR Space and the scope for People Analytics, the logical step forward was to explore the latest Buzz Word in Technology –"Machine Learning" and its applicability in the HR Space. Although Machine Learning and AI are gaining or rather re-gaining traction in present times, the technology is still in its nascent stages, with more tug in the academia and research domain than in business applications although google, Facebook, IBM (Watson/IRIS) and the likes have been building their commercial success on Machine learning which has in turn renewed interest in this sphere. This article explores the possibilities of using Machine learning in the Talent and HR space. To quote Tom Mitchell "A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E." In plain words, the machine is able to improve the outcome of tasks performed, by learning through prior experience of the task-performance outcome: Much like humans do. This concept defies the hitherto ideal program concept that a machine would function according to a specific code based on a set algorithm.
